SUMMARY:Workshop: Scientific Understanding and Representation (SURe)
DESCRIPTION:Web: https://neuroessentialisme.wordpress.com/sure-workshop/  \n  \nWorkshop description\n\nRepresentations play a central role in scientists’ understanding of the world. From mathematical models to diagrams\, different representations in highly varied contexts yield diverse insights across the physical\, biological\, and social sciences. Despite the fact that how a phenomenon is represented has far-reaching ramifications for how it is understood\, the literatures on scientific understanding and scientific representation are largely independent of each other. Phenomena also admit of different representations\, and some of these representations yield better understanding because they are more amenable to embedding the phenomenon into a broader theoretical framework. Yet scientists’ flexibility in how they represent phenomena is constrained by the available data\, detectors\, and measurement practices.\nThese practices indicate that there are deeper connections between scientific representation and scientific understanding to be drawn. At the most general level\, how do representations provide understanding? Is the relation between representation and understanding always mediated through explanation\, or the understanding could be obtained directly from representation? Why do some representations provide better understanding than others?\nThis workshop is the first one in a recurrent annual series that explores these connections. \nThe founders of the workshop series are Daniel Kostić and Kareem Khalifa.
